I feel the same way about cum that isn’t directly from the “tap.” Somehow it’s fine from the source, but you put it in a shot glass and suddenly it’s disgusting.
We constantly have spit in our mouth 100% of the time but if we were made to drink any amount of our spit it'd be disgusting. Why?

I feel the same way about breast milk. From a glass? No thank you. From the tap? Yes please.

This doesn’t apply to excrement, does it?
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Huh. What about piss? Like if you pee in your own mouth directly, is that less disgusting?
dunz@feddit.nu 11 months ago
Still disgusting, but a bit less. Still pretty revolting though!

I love furries and their sexpositivity.

Same reason you wear your socks the whole day but once you remove them they become eww. Human brain is weird in that regard. Probably has evolutionary reasons but from an entirely rational POV it’s weird.

I had some oral mucositis that caused some excessive saliva production. There was one time I accidentally swallowed a mouthful of it, it immediately caused me to vomit.

spit up
fubbernuckin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve swallowed a mouthful of spit a couple times. Rather unpleasant experience.

Fluids that exit the body is like this. Only exception is blood from your own kin and tears. Anything else gets very dirty once out of body. Sweat, urine, vomit etc
Spit in a cup and drink it and watch how your peers react.

Are you drinking your kin's blood?
Oisteink@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No - but wiping it off is no issue. If you drool on yourself I’m not gonna touch it

Thanks...now I'm acutely aware of the spit in my mouth and when I swallow it.
Melobol@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
You are swallowing that saliva during the day. Usually we make 0.5 and 1.5 liters daily (for us measurements 2 to 4.2 cups). And that needs to go somewhere. And it is very important part of our oral hygiene too.

So in metric the range is 3x and in imperial is 2.1x?
gregorum@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Freshness?
abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It’s the quantity. And also, by the time you’ve filled a cup of spit, it has cooled and dried a bit, resulting in an increased viscousity, giving it a very unpleasant mouthfeel.

I get that the OP asked a question, but did you have to answer it with this level of detail?
abbadon420@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I can’t help it. When someone asks a quenstion, I spit up an answer
